With the AT21 Cup 2021 sorted, the Spanish team, led by Rafael Nadal, initiated his truck ahead of the local, Australia. Sondeverbod, hubo un pequeño cambio minutes antes de salir a la cancha.
Tal y como lo hizo in his social speeches, the number 2 of the world, is not presented to his party ante the Australian Alex de Miñaur, by a grief in the spade. In his place, Pablo Carreño salió as his replacement in Roberto Bautista Agut as first singlea.
Hello everyone, we decided with # TeamSpain and my team, not today the first game of the @ATPCup here in # Melbourne since I have a tight low back. Hopefully I will be better for Thursday. We have a strong team @ pablocarreno91 @BautistaAgut & @M_Granollers #vamos 🇪🇸
